before president obama. i grew up in the party of ronald reagan. i worked for him for two years and i know what he thought. i knew he had a commitment even though he was very conservative. he voted right for the country even though he had a conservative image. i worked for the george shuttles and george herbert walker bush. that's the republican i am. what happened in the last few years, the party shifted dramatically to the right. that's acceptable but if you stay that far to the right, you lose the country because the country is moving more towards the center. there is a demographic change. we will be a minority majority country. we can't say we will fix the message. you have to appeal to policies and the programs of the people. >> this transformation you would like to say that you think the party needs to survive, do you think that organizations like the nra are impeding that transformation from happening? >> the nra and others who are gun control advocates have to take a look at what they have been doing
